We describe the first reported intergeneric, which naturally occurs between two subspecies belonging to different genera, Dactylorhiza and Pseudorchis. his unique plant represents a rare combination, never encountered in the wild, before.

Why is it important?
We document the first reported natural occurrence of an intergeneric hybrid between the rare subspecies, Dactylorhiza fuchsii subsp. sooana and the alpine species Pseudorchis albida subsp. tricuspis, the only species present within the hybrid’s close proximity. This previously undescribed alloploid, named as × Pseudorhiza nieschalkii (Senghas) P.F.Hunt nothosubsp. siculorum.
Perspectives
This is the first intergeneric hybrid between Dactylorhiza and Pseudorchis genera, ever mentioned in literature (new to science), thus we are hoping for new orchid discoveries in near future.
